New programming language "machin" runs 1B LLM 4x faster on laptop CPU

A developer has created a new programming language called "machin" that compiles through C and is designed for AI agents. Using this language, they successfully ran the TinyLlama-1.1B model on a laptop CPU at 20 tokens per second, outperforming a reference C implementation by four times. Key optimizations included group quantization, vector width utilization, and a specialized byte dot product function, all achieved without external libraries like BLAS or llama.cpp. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for optimized LLM inference on consumer hardware via novel language design.

RANK_REASON Developer creates a new programming language and demonstrates its performance with an LLM.

    I made my programming language run a 1B LLM at 20 tok/s on a laptop CPU (it beat the reference C by 4x)

    <p>I build <a href="https://github.com/javimosch/machin" rel="noopener noreferrer">machin</a> — a small "machine-first" language that compiles through C, designed for AI agents to write. Its roadmap rule is simple: every feature has to be earned by dogfooding, by building somethi…
